HP P2000 G3 & Management Host

Frustrated with HP P2000 G3?

Hello,

I know it’s frustrating when you had 100 of P2000 G3 across your environment and it gave you Management host down errors.

TBH management host down basically don’t impact you but it will restrict your remote access for storage and hence you need management host up and running

Two options...

1st Option Each enclosure has 2 management host A and B if one of these were down you can telnet working one and Reboot another management host you can do this anytime this doesn't
Need any down time.

Telnet working host
Provide Storage credentials
Command Restart Mc A (whichever you want to reboot A or B try this 4-5 time and your management host will be up and working)

  

2nd Option...
Connect USB cable at the rear side of your storage you will sew CLI port (Mini USB) connect there one end and other to your working server.

 














Open Device Manager- Refresh
Check serial and LPT Port
You will find something except "COM1"
Open Putty
Select Serial type "Com2 or Com3" whatever it has taken connect provide your storage credentials
And one by one run following command.

Restart MC A
Accept Y


Restart Mc B
Accept Y

How to disable USB Storage ?

Question came. #How to disable USB Drive but USB headphones/Keyboard/Mouse and Data cards should work? Simple:  When administrator says how he will block things using GPO what we do is we edit Group Policy Management template. #Group Policy Management Editor Following option need to be configure. What exactly happens? As we know Windows is all about registry and for each and everything we had one Reg file same thing applies to USB.  For example USB Printer, USB hub, USB headphones for each component we had different registry keys. Now I just want to disable USB storage hence will concentrate on following registry path. #[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR] and mainly START (Dword) By default it is 3 if you modify registry to 4. USB Mass storage will be block. (Cell Phones, Jump drives, Disk and Pen drives will not detect in OS.
